The Baptism With the Holy Ghost

By David Shelby Corlett

Introduction

Too much cannot be spoken or written on the work of the Holy Spirit in the redemption of man. Especially is it necessary to have correct and sound teachings on this subject today to offset so much that is erroneous and unscriptural.

It was my privilege to read the manuscript of this little book, "The Baptism with the Holy Spirit," and I did so with keen interest and pleasure, as well as profit. The author, Rev. D. S. Corlett, had a definite purpose in mind in writing this book, namely, to set forth more clearly the distinction between the work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration and His work in sanctification.

There is much confusion at this point in the minds of many earnest seekers after truth and also in the minds of some who already enjoy and teach both works of divine grace.

To read the foreword is to get clearly the purpose of the author, and to carefully read the chapters that follow is to see the plan as developed by the author.

Brother Corlett discusses the work of the Holy Spirit before Pentecost, the work of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and experiences subsequent to Pentecost, and dwells with emphasis upon the results of the baptism with the Holy Spirit and makes clear also the conditions that one must meet in order to be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

Seemingly few books are written with a definite object and with the thought of filling a definite need. This book does both. It gives me great pleasure to recommend both the author and the book. I trust it will be read by our people everywhere and by all seekers after light on the work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration and in sanctification.
